Glitch Grind Hustle
(c'mon now...
not today) Screen froze up at quarter to four
Fan sounding like a jet take off on the floor
Got thirty-seven tabs open,
half of them are dead
Spinning beach ball got me clutching my head
Spreadsheet locked up, cursor won't shift
Deadline in ten and I'm missing my shift Try hard reset with
a long power press Nothing in return but a battery under stress
Boss sends a ping asking "Where is the slide?" I'm staring at
a bezel with my head pushed aside
(man, are you serious?)
Screen gone black and the track keep knocking Fan on blast while
the clock keep stalking Can't save files,
gotta rap to the beat Turning keyboard clatter into heat in the
street
Screen gone black, nothing moving on screen Just a broke down machine
and a sick 16
Cables in a knot,
adapter getting hot Stuck on five percent and it's losing what it
got Hit Control-Alt-Delete, task manager crash
Memory exhausted in an instant flash Now I'm beatboxing on the trackpad
frame Finding pocket in the rhythm of this office game
IT department put my ticket on hold Said "reboot twice" like the
story's never told So I tap the aluminum,
make the kick thump Turning whole cubicles into a boom-bap dump (hold
on, watch this)
Screen gone black and the track keep knocking Fan on blast while
the clock keep stalking Can't save files,
gotta rap to the beat Turning keyboard clatter into heat in the
street Screen gone black,
nothing moving on screen Just a broke down machine and a sick
16
(yeah,
keep it moving)
No Wi-Fi bar, no login prompt Just rhythm in the room where
the workers stomp
One click, two tap,
spacebar click Making forty-dollar junk sound real slick
Yeah,
tell the supervisor call it a day
System went down, but the beats gonna stay
Log off, pull the plug (pull it) Laptop cooked,
but we found the groove (done.)
